Semi-Celebration

After class today, i went for a scheduled checkup at Dr Hwang's. Good news is that after one dose of medication, she wants to stop my medication already. She actually wanted to put me on one whole year's worth of oral chemo drugs, but now she wants to stop already, which is good cos its earlier than expected! However, i need to go for another PET scan to confirm an all clear. So Dear suggested a semi-celebration. Went to 新旺, a HK-themed cafe on the 2nd flr of Cineleisure to try out the food.

I ordered the beef horfun (left). Not too bad, but a bit not worth the price cos as Dear had put it, can get similar tasting ones at half the price at zi char stalls. Dear ordered Shanghai vegetable rice with minced meat and egg (right). Not too bad, but the minced meat sauce a tad sweet. the vegetable rice tasted like any other fried rice. because the cafe is HK-themed, we had expected something more HK or special... but... a bit disappointed... we ordered one dimsum dish aso. its some beancurd skin thingy (right). at first i tot it was a steamed version. but it turned out to be fried. tasted so so lor, like any other ones at other dimsum places. redeeming factor was the drinks. i ordered a hot milk tea while dear ordered a ice "madarin duck" (鹰鸯 / ying yong lah)...

might try other foods in the menu if there's a chance to go there another time. give it another chance to impress me with HK-themed makan... hehe...
